<p>You honestly sound like a really strong candidate to me. Only slight problem I see is the C+ but your activities and high school record should make up for that. It’s probably just luck for you now. You’re qualified but you never know.</p>

<p>Are you applying for fall or spring? I’m applying for this spring. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>High school GPA: 3.5
College GPA (New York University): 3.9
SAT: 2210</p>

<p>I don’t feel like posting all my other extracurriculars but basically I think we’ll both be considered. Hope that was helpful. And if you’d like to stay in touch about the transfer process, I’d be glad to!</p>
